Is First Aid Kit available in your house?

I have been in Japan for almost 2 years now and it seems that First Aid Kit is not immediately available anywhere within one's house/apartment. I wonder if YOUR house has one, and isn't it important for a household?

Public Comments

1. yes i have one, safety first:)

2. Yes, and I check it regulary to make sure everything is stocked and the antibiotic creams and stuff aren't too old.

3. My house has a rather large and comprehensive kit basically because I did a patrol medics course in the army and my ex wife was a nurse. I could probably restock an ambulance out of the stuff in my closet.

4. well considering i'm an EMT yes there is

5. we have to in the house and one in the car

6. First Aid kits are vital whether in the home, workplace, or our vehicles. In Victoria Australia it is illegal for a work place NOT to have a approved First Aid Kit.

I have a First Aid Kit in the house, car and motor bike each having a CPR mask as an precaution "of never knowing when a CPR mask is needed".

Obviously each kit is slightly different, due to types of injuries sustained can be different from within the home to road trauma.

7. yes

8. My husband and I are both Medics so yes I would say we have a pretty good amount of supplies and equipment.

9. i have a small first aid kit in my house. it is also not in immediately available. i also have first aid training

10. I'm an EMT. Yes, I have a first aid kit. In fact, it goes beyond that. It's the same kit you would find on an ambulance. It has everything I might need in it.
